She was in great need of these things.
"My last name is Li, you can call me Xiao Li." The man introduced himself, "Many people come to me to buy things. Although it's a bit expensive, but you don't need a ticket, it's actually a good deal. You can look around and buy whatever you want, sister."
Jiang Wanyue wanted everything, but she only had so little money, so she ordered a few fruits first and weighed them. Just these few things cost her two dollars and sixty cents, and her money was reduced by half in an instant.
She struggled for a while between daily necessities and food, and finally bowed to food: "Can I have a little bit of each of these food?"
Xiao Li naturally nodded.
However, when he saw that Jiang Wanyue only took a tiny amount of each item, his smile faded: "Sister, this, this can't be weighed."
Jiang Wanyue opened her backpack and said with a smile, "Don't weigh it. Can I exchange it for eggs?"
The supply and marketing cooperative charged five cents for an egg, but it sold for about six or seven cents in the city. She used an egg to exchange for a tiny amount of food, the size of a fingernail. Xiao Li felt that she had made a fortune.
Jiang Wanyue took a little bit of each food, including rice, millet, flour, peanuts, soybeans, mung beans, and cornmeal, which included seven eggs.
She then turned her attention to other things: brown sugar, white sugar, noodles, fruit candies, shortbread, and twisted dough sticks, which cost another six eggs.

He has been in the business for so many years, but he has never seen anyone like this.
But no matter how you look at it, he's not at a loss.
He was also very considerate and found an old newspaper to help cut and pack the odds and ends separately.
Jiang Wanyue fully experienced the joy of shopping.
"I also want a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and a basin."
"A toothbrush is 29 cents, toothpaste is 40 cents, soap is 1.40, and a small enamel basin is 2.20." Xiao Li quickly calculated the bill. "All these add up to 4.29, so forget the 9 cents."
Jiang Wanyue: “…”
She only had a little over two dollars left, and she had to save enough for the train ticket.
She said dryly, "Forget it. I don't want the enamel basin or the soap. It's not easy to carry."
